Lets's calculate LCM of 495,956
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 473220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/473220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5862/495,3328/956 is 2/473220
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 495,956 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(495,956) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(495,956) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(495,956) = ( 495 × 956 ) / 1
LCM(495,956) = 473220 / 1
LCM(495,956) = 473220
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
